Changelog

Version: 2.39.3-9ubuntu6.5	2026-03-12 23:09:57 UTC
`util-linux (2.39.3-9ubuntu6.5) noble-security; urgency=medium * d/p/ubuntu/su-pty-drop-caps.patch: harden 'su --pty' to temporarily lower capabilities while proxying between stdin/stdout and the pty master. This is to avoid su from being used to exploit kernel vulnerabilities. -- Luci Stanescu <email address hidden> Fri, 06 Mar 2026 18:00:54 +0200`
